Thank you for your interest in working with me and sharing the joy of doing research. :) Our group provides an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone. I strongly encourage students from underrepresented groups in Computer Science research to apply. This includes, but is not limited to, Dalits, Adivasis, women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of racialized groups, and members of sexual and gender minority groups.
I am looking for multiple students to work with me on Deep Reinforcement Learning at the Faculty of Computer Science, Dalhousie University, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Mi’kma’ki, Canada. I will be attending NeurIPS 2024 and would love to meet and chat if you are attending as well:) Please feel free to email me to schedule a time during NeurIPS.
Things I Look For in a Student
Intellectual curiosity.
Solid foundations in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Reinforcement Learning, or demonstrated ability to acquire them.
Strong programming skills with hands-on experience or willingness to develop them in Deep Reinforcement Learning.
Good communication (both written and verbal) and interpersonal skills.
Relevant research contributions or demonstrated potential.
Commitment to fostering a happy, supportive, and inclusive environment within the research group.
Currently, I am primarily seeking applicants for the PhD program, both at the post-bachelor's and post-master's levels.
To apply,
Email janarthanan.rajendran@dal.ca with:
Subject line "PhD Application - [Your Name]".
Curriculum vitae (CV).
Statement of purpose/research interests (500 - 1000 words), covering your academic background, research interests, reasons for pursuing a PhD, and reasons for your interest in working with me.
Research proposal (500 - 1000 words), a sample project proposal for the type of research you wish to undertake during your PhD. You can refer to Dalhousie's guidelines for writing an effective research proposal.

I will review your application and if there is a good fit, I will contact you for an interview. Due to the high volume of applications I receive, I am able to respond to only those who are selected for an interview. I appreciate your understanding in this regard.
If there is a good match, I will request you to submit your application for the Graduate Program at the Faculty of Computer Science (FCS) at Dalhousie University. Your reference letter writers will submit their recommendation letters as a part of this application.
FCS and I will perform a final review of your submitted application and make a recommendation to the Faculty of Graduate Studies (FGS), who will then make the final decision/offer.
I welcome applications (Step 1) any time of the year.
